The Lord’s Supper

13 Now before the Feast of (A)the Passover, Jesus, knowing that (B)His hour had come that He would depart from this world (C)to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them [a]to the end. And during supper, (D)the devil having already put into the heart of (E)Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, (F)knowing that the Father had handed all things over to Him, and that (G)He had come forth from God and was going back to God, *got up from supper and *laid His outer garments aside; and He took a towel and (H)tied it around Himself.

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

Then He *poured water into the basin, and began (I)washing the disciples’ feet and wiping them with the towel which He had tied around Himself. So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, You are washing my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not realize right now, but you will understand (J)later.” Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, (K)If I do not wash you, (L)you have no [b]place with Me.” Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus *said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet; otherwise he is completely clean. And (M)you are clean—but [c]not all of you.” 11 For (N)He knew the one who was betraying Him; it was for this reason that He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

Jesus Loves His Own To The End

13 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus— knowing[a] that His hour came for Him to pass from this world to the Father— having loved His own ones in the world, loved them to the end[b].

At Dinner, Jesus Washes The Feet of The Twelve As an Example For Them To Follow

And dinner taking-place[c], the devil having already put into his heart that Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, should hand Him over— Jesus, knowing[d] that the Father gave Him all things into His hands, and that He came forth from God and is going to God, arises from the dinner and lays-down His [outer] garments. And having taken a towel, He tied it around Himself. Then He puts water into the wash-basin. And He began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel which had been tied-around Himself. Then He comes to Simon Peter. He says to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” Jesus responded and said to him, “You do not know what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things”. Peter says to Him, “You will never wash my feet, ever!” Jesus responded to him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part[e] with Me”. Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, wash not my feet only, but also the hands and the head!” 10 Jesus says to him, “The one having bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but is entirely clean. And you[f] are clean— but not all of you”. 11 For He knew the one handing Him over. For this reason He said that “You are not all clean”.
